I hate the new minimap.

I hate the new minimap icons.

I do, however, like the command wheel.

The best idea I've seen, thusfar, is to merge the old icons with the new ones. Have icons that tell you what weight class a mech is as well as telling you the direction.

The lower tiers are really suffering without friendly doritos. They're walking in front of each other much more often, backing up into each other more often and just generally having no idea of the spacial relationship between them and their team mates.

FP coordination has dropped, as it isn't easy anymore to form a perfect fireline and, when the enemy is finally spotted, the diamonds are hollow and difficult to see and many people don't even notice them.

Also, if your sensors can detect the exact armor values of an enemy mech's front armor and back armor, your sensors should know which way they're facing.. or we wouldn't even have a lock-on system.

..eh, it's not like we can change Russ' mind on anything, though. He wasted invested time and money to make this abomination downgraded minimap and he's going to shove it down our throats no matter what we want.

..but I won't ever consider giving them one cent, again. This week, they stole my doritos.. what will they come to steal, next?

Thank you Sir for addressing my question. I like the changes, but admit I am in the minority. In my life the old style mini map was "counter intuitive". 40 plus years wandering aimlessly in the wilderness has conditioned me to expect certain things from my navigation aids. The "B" key is always there if needed. I believe PGI is on the right track. "Forward unto Glory"

Good post, but are you referring to the after patch mini map or after Hotfix of the patch to fix mini map?

after the hotfix, I like the new map alot better than the old one. the new icons make sense, the map rotates again, the size of the map is bigger but not too big. In my eyes, the map now combines the best of both minimap designs *thumbs up*

Remove the minimap! Long term win-win.
